Basic Electronics Components..


Basic Electronics Components..
Hi everybody...
In this post I hope to give some basic knowledge about basic electronics component and I think it will more important for you to develop your own robot.

Diode
A diode allows electricity to flow in one direction only and blocks the flow in the opposite direction. They may be regarded as one-way valves and they are used in various circuits, usually as a form of protection. There are different types of diode but their basic functions are the same


Voltage Regulators
Voltage regulators use to put constant voltage level in a circuit. Usually regulators having three legs convert varying input voltage and produce a constant regulated output voltage. The most common part numbers start with the numbers 78 or 79 and finish with two digits indicating the output voltage. The number 78 represents positive voltage and 79 negative one. The 78XX series of voltage regulators are designed for positive input. And the 79XX series is designed for negative input.

  Configer 7805

Most microcontroller IC and digital IC work with 5V voltage level. Therefore always we have to use 7805 regulator IC and should configure correctly.You can get sharp knowledge about 7805 and its operation by using its datasheet.

Capacitor
Capacitors are components that are used to store an electrical charge and are used in timer circuits. A capacitor may be used with a resistor to produce a timer. Sometimes capacitors are used to smooth a current in a circuit as they can prevent false triggering of other components such as relays. When power is supplied to a circuit that includes a capacitor - the capacitor charges up. When power is turned off the capacitor discharges its electrical charge slowly
You can get some idea about capacitor by building following circuit
